Political Quotes

“H. Con. Resolution 297 recognizes the contributions of Korean-Americans and the contributions that they have made over the last 100 years. Since that first day when Korean-Americans immigrated and landed in Honolulu, they have become an integral part of the diverse fabric that makes up American society. They have contributed economically; but beyond economic contributions, they have eagerly embraced our commonly held American ideals. The first Korean-Americans were united in the cause of achieving freedom for their annexed homeland and for her people. And in this present day, Korean-Americans remain united in their hopes for the reunification of their ancestral homeland and the reunification of families torn apart by war and for an end to the dictatorial oppression of their fellow Koreans in North Korea. By organizing through churches, associations, and other groups, Korean-Americans have built strong mutual-support networks and strong communities. Perhaps most importantly, at the center of Korean-American life are strong family ties and hard work. This has allowed Korean-Americans to prosper and make innumerable contributions to American life and society.”
